Book Reviews of Why Love Matters: How Affection Shapes a Baby's Brain
Book Review: unputdownable
Summary: 4 Stars
Rich, provocative, accessible, unputdownable. This will be a hugely influential book, and should be required reading for parents, professionals and policy-makers. It is fascinating, and tells us what in our heart of hearts we knew but would rather ignore - that the way in which we respond to and respect our babies' emotional needs will shape their future and our society. A tough message for a materialistic, individualistic culture and a very sharp poke in the eye to those harsh child 'taming and training' books and programmes that are so fashionable once more. For those interested in how to support and nurture parent-child relationships from infancy on - and negotiate problems when they arise - may I also recommend the Parker and Stimpson books -- RAISING HAPPY CHILDREN and SIBLING RIVALRY, SIBLING LOVE. Aimed primarily at parents but, again, full of information and real families' experiences of what helps.
